Goal: Show why OLS is biased under endogeneity and how IV (2SLS) recovers the causal slope when the instrument is relevant and valid.
Controls: Move sliders to change the true causal effect (β), endogeneity via an unobserved confounder U, instrument strength (π), and violations (independence ρ_ZU and exclusion τ).
Plots: Left shows structural scatter (Y vs X) with OLS & IV lines. Right shows first stage (X vs Z).
Readouts: Compare OLS vs IV estimates and standard errors; check the first-stage F. Warnings appear for weak IV or violated assumptions.

Why IV? Endogeneity (OVB, reverse causality, measurement error) makes OLS biased: E[ε|X]≠0.
Validity conditions: (i) Relevance (Z→X; check first-stage F), (ii) Independence (Cov(Z,ε)=0, often after controls), (iii) Exclusion (Z affects Y only via X), (iv) Monotonicity for LATE with binary Z.
Precision vs. bias: IV is typically less precise (SE ↑) than OLS because it uses only the Z-induced slice of X. Don’t expect smaller SEs.
Weak IV: When F is low, IV drifts toward OLS and tests break. Use stronger Z, more data, or weak-IV-robust methods (AR, CLR).
Reduced form: Useful and often precise; but causal slope for X is IV = (Z→Y)/(Z→X).
